Sorry for this but just wondering...

How do you pronounce Clie ? (Cli-A) or (C-Lie) I have an arguement with many of my non PDA users. I said (Cli-A) was I right?

And What does Clie mean? What language is it? Japanese or French?

Just a stupid question that I have since I bought my NX...:o :confused:

Man I envy you... I saw the New welly concept (green) in the autoshow last month in DC. Will that be in production?

Just like everything else, it has to go through a cost evaluation process to determine if it will be profitable, market research to determine if it will sell, etc etc.,.....

The Rubicon has been somewhat of a success..they originally planned to build only 5000 in the first year. That number has swelled considerably...
and there have been many who thought that it was aimed at to narrow of a market segment, that are taken back at its success.

If you get one I will forwarn you... Mileage is not as good as a regular TJ. "4.10 gears"
Suspension is "stiffer" so ride is affected...especially if you need it to commute. Doesn't bother me though. If you do a lot of wheeling in the sand you'll want to get another set of tires with a bit more "floatation" than the Goodyear MTR's.
Pirelli Scorpions are my choice. Actually I like to run the Pirelli's all the time. Better road manners and quieter. But the MTR's do look tough!

My first(sounds like a girlfriend) was a 74 cj5 that I paid 300 bucks for when I was in High School.

I used it mostly as a work vehicle on my uncles farm.
It impressed me in the fact that here's a vehicle that can putter across a stream while pulling a trailer then jump on the pavement and go to the store for a coke.

yep, it's an entirely different vehicle off road... it's meant for the dirt, sand, water, etc.. my Jeep actually comes alive when it's off pavement!

interesting photo/avatar you have, I've been looking at it for a few minutes..can't figure out what I am looking at? looks like a person w/ a hood taking a photo w/ a 35mm camera through a window? but the title above says: watching "Ran" ...do you mean rain? is the person taking a photo of the rain?? -although I see no "rain"?? just golden window sill.
